2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

THREE MONTHS AGO, THE BACK MOON ROOF MADE A LOUD BANG AND SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE MOON ROOF OR OTHER VEHICLES IN THE AREA. WE HAD IT REPLACED AT A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOON ROOF THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON FOR 2 YRS. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. IN FACT, I TOOK IT 4 TIMES BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, DRIVE OFF DEALER LOT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AGAIN. FINALLY FIXED IT. 6 MONTHS LATER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN! THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A WIRING ISSUE OR LOOSE FITTING BUT DEALER CANT SEEM TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO ON WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST THING IN THE AM WHILE IM PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING-DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER IF CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. IVE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE DEALER "FIX" IT BUT ITS NOT FIXED WHATEVER IS THE ISSUE. I ESTIMATE THAT AIR BAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY LAST MONTH.

ON DECEMBER 21ST COMING HOME FROM WORK MERGING ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY SIBILITY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ACROSS MY DASHBOARD THEN REDUCED POWER COMES ON VEHICLE START LOSING POWER ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TRYING TO MERGE ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED OR EXPERIENCE A VEHICLE DO THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS A SERIOUS RECALL ON BEFORE FOR SOME ONE DIES IF IT AIN'T ALREADY HAPPEN. DECEMBER 22ND 2018 STOP AT A FOUR WAY AND THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE SHUTS ALL THE WAY OFF I RESTARTED IT AND IT READ REDUCED POWER ITS STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND I COULD NOT PICK UP ANY POWER JUST LIKE LAST TIME PLUS I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 1ST 2018 ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SIX TIMES ALREADY BUT IT STARTED HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS ON DECEMBER 2ND BUT ON DECEMBER 21ST MY LIFE WAS ON THE LINE.

THE CAR WILL SHORT OUT DASH AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING AND WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. TOOK TO DEALER AND SUPPOSEDLY MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. IT HAPPENS WITH CAR IN MOTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOLD BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE THE AIRBAG SERVICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE WITH THE MASSIVE AIRBAG RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. NOW MY CAR DASHBOARD IS GETTING VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BRIGHTENS AND AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY PROBLEM, WITH NO RECALL.

2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK: VEHICLE DASH SAYS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND SHUTS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS CROSSING A BUSY SIDE STREET, ON 2 STATE ROADS, AND OTHER PLACES. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO, I CAN RESTART IT THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE PCM WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AFTER 3 DAYS OF KEEPING THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS KEPT OVER A WEEK AND THE PCM WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED WITHIN 24 HOURS AND HAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPUTER SYSTEM TOLD ME I HAD LOW AIR PRESSURE IN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND PUT AIR IN MY TIRE. AFTER EACH FILL I RECHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THROUGH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT CONTINUES TO DROP IN NUMBER. I SPENT AROUND 20 MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT DIDN'T LOOK FLAT BUT MY VEHICLE WAS RECORDING IT WAS. I DECIDED IT MUST BE A COMPUTER ERROR AND PROCEEDED TO FILL MY OTHER TIRES AND VACUUM MY CAR. I PULLED OFF AND SOMETHING TOLD ME TO ASK THE GENTLEMAN GETTING GAS IF MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE LOOKED FLAT, HE SAID, 'NO, IT'S YOUR BACK RIGHT TIRE, I CAN HEAR THE AIR ESCAPING' SURE ENOUGH I COULD HEAR IT TO, AND COULD SEE A LARGE CRACK IN THE TIRE. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE HOME BUT IT GOT TO LOW AND HAD TO PULL OVER. SO MY COMPUTER SYSTEM IN MY NEW USED CAR WARNED ME ME ABOUT A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE AND PULLED MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM A TIRE THAT HAD A HOLE IN IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND COMPENSATE ME FOR HAVING TO SIT IN A BIG LOTS PARKING LOT FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN HOME WAITING IN MY LIVING ROOM HAD I NOT WASTED SO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME FILLING A TIRE THAT WAS PERFECTLY FINE.

THE CAR HAS STARTED TO DO A SHIMMY AND THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNS OFF AND WON'T START AGAIN. THERE IS ALWAYS GAS IN THE CAR, AND THE OIL IS CHANGED REGULARLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A SMALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BOX UNDER THE GAS TANK THAT WAS FILLED WITH DIRT AND GETTING POOR CONTACT. THE SMALL BOX WAS CLEANED OUT AND ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVE GEL WAS USED. THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 9 DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. IT HAS TURNED OFF MOSTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE LATEST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 11/6/2018
